Asking questions to characterize the issue is an effective way tohandle an objection from the customer.
Asking questions helps to understand the root cause, scope, and impact of the objection, as well as to show empathy and respect for the customer's concerns. Asking questions also helps to clarify any misunderstandings, provide relevant information, and propose solutions that address the objection.References:
